Pittsburgh police have arrested one man, and are still looking for others in the stabbing of Steelers tackle Mike Adams.

According to Michael Hasch of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, 25-year-old Michael C. Paranay was charged with attempted homicide, aggravated assault and related crimes for the Saturday morning carjacking attempt.

According to the police report, Paranay allegedly sucker-punched Adams while another man pointed a gun at him and a third stabbed him

According to the report, Adams left a restaurant and was walking to his truck when the three men approached. One pulled a gun and demanded the vehicle, to which Adams replied: “You aren’t going to shoot me on the street in front of people.” The gunman said, “I want your car or I’ll shoot you in the face and kill you in front of everyone!”

Then, Paranay circled behind Adams and hit him, and the third man stabbed him in the stomach and forearm.

As they ran away without the truck, one of them dropped a cell phone, and police used photos and contacts from the phone to identify Paranay, who Adams picked out of a photo lineup.

Get well soon, Mike Adams. You stood up to some worthless hooligans and this football fan and proud American salutes you! Does anybody else miss what this country USED to be…. A country of hard working, morally-centered people that earned EVERYTHING they had? We’ve degenerated into a me-first, entitled and morally grey nation and this kind of situation is a result of that erosion. We need to start holding people ACCOUNTABLE for their actions! These “men” deserve the death penalty. Let’s take this great nation BACK!

Crime doesnt pay, and if you try crime, DONT CARRY SOMETHING EASY TO DROP THAT WILL ID YOU

And if someone approaches you with a gun/knife, just give them the friggin car. Its not worth your life. (Especially true if youre a high round draft pick making millions and can probably afford another vehicle…)

Some people will go to the extreme to get what they want. So extreme that they are willing to take another human being’s life. I am willing to bet that these guys who stabbed Adams wish they could do it all over and change the outcome. 10-15 years in prison. Was it worth it?

The fact that this idiot was from Hazelwood shows the incident could have happened anywhere, no matter the Pittsburgh suburb. Crime travels and these heroin addicts could just have easily broken into Adam’s home if he lived in an affluent Pittsburgh suburb. The South Side of Pittsburgh isn’t bad and didn’t deserve to be labeled as “the hood” by some that know nothing about the area. All these cities are trying to revitalize their downtowns and eager to draw young people to them as the trendy thing to do, however, they still are clearly lacking enough of a police presence and security when the criminals are brave enough to jack a 6’7″ dude!

These 3 guys just need to be put down. Yes, I’m talking about THAT kind of put down.

People that do this kind of thing aren’t going to suddenly turn into good, upstanding citizens. They might be caught and jailed but will be at it again when they are out. They need to be permamently gotten rid of.

Tough offseason for the Steelers’ offensive line: First, Willie Colon gets cut, then Mike Adams’s colon gets cut. In all seriousness, I’m glad that Adams is going to be okay and that they’ve caught at least one of the robbers.

Punched him, stabbed him, dropped the cell phone & didn’t get the vehicle.
The Three Stooges Moe, Larry & Curly!!! For whomever prosecutes these clowns, please make sure they get the MAXIMUM sentence! At least 25 years!
